Very centrally located, just 5 minutes walk from the Metro; the key factor for me was the relative ease of check-in, and how the staff bent over backwards to make my son and I (who were meeting for the first time since Covid made travel essentially impossible) such an enjoyable experience - we had a blast!!!

All hostels in Shanghai

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
